    Who seem to think that effort is a good substitute for ability?

    We have some of the most limited players in the division yet people value these players because of their perceived ability to "put a shift in". I wonder if fans of other clubs are the same?

    All teams have some hard working players in it.

    The Germans have won a few World Cups with effort (combined with organisation)rather than the teams with the ability who've fallen by the wayside.

    Yeah. The '86 squad was full of toilers. Like Lothar Matthaus.

    I don't think so. Look at any other teams message boards and you'll find people will excuse a lot providing that a player is showing effort and commitment.
